Brittany Brooks
Brittany is designing and conducting seminars and workshops on issues concerning international women's and children's rights.
For 18 months Brittany served in Cape Town, South Africa, with SHADE, a ministry of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa that addresses issues of hunger and poor nutrition among women with HIV/AIDS, their children, and orphans.
”I have great compassion and empathy for those who are oppressed,” Brittany shares, ”and I feel that I have the responsibility to help in any way that I am able. I hope to be able to understand the level of suffering that the people I will be working with endure.”
Native to North Carolina, Brittany earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Pfeiffer University. She is a member of First United Methodist Church in Gastonia, NC in the Western North Carolina Annual Conference.
The Mission Intern Program is a three-year leadership development and mission service opportunity for young adults between the ages of 20 and 30 to be actively involved in mission service and social justice in both an international and a domestic context. The program encourages young adults to live with and learn from communities that struggle with injustice. Mission Interns have worked as community developers, educators, advocates, and grass-roots organizers, and their unique experiences provide vision for new opportunities and ministries within the church. The program offers an opportunity for Mission Interns to serve half of their time abroad, and their remaining time in a placement site in their home country.
